• If you haven’t been skiing or snowboarding, take a lesson. The Ski Instructors are a great source of knowledge and are eager to help you. If you haven’t been on the mountain in a while, lessons can also help you with style and confidence.

• Make sure to try a couple different ski resorts. Lake Tahoe is an extraordinary place and each mountain has its own specialties. Treat yourself to new terrain because that is what sets Tahoe apart from all other ski areas; we have multiple mountain resorts to choose from!

• There is always something going on once the lifts close, so make sure to consult your concierge, property manager, internet, or good old local newspaper to find out what is happening in Tahoe while you are here.

• Sunscreen is not just a suggestion, it is a requirement! We are a lot closer to the sun up here, so even on cloudy days there is tons of exposure.

• Helmets are your friend. They can turn a bad wreck into a minor fall.

• Don’t forget to get up early when there’s fresh snow and sleep in when there’s not. Tahoe has an amazing thaw/freeze cycle. Conditions may not be ideal first thing in the morning but by the afternoon the resort softens up for great skiing and riding.
